Plot synopsis: “The film is set in a world where magical creatures live side by side with humans and the police have a division handling crimes involving magic. An Orc cop (Joel Edgerton) is partnered with a human cop (Will Smith) on an ordinary beat when they wind up helping an elf (Lucy Fry ) who has come into the possession of a massively powerful (and highly illegal) weapon: a magic wand. With several nefarious villains after the powerful artifact, the cops end up having to protect it and her.”

An orc without tusks? Never mind, am still hooked, and I totally dig the “Alien Nation” feel!
